I love the shitty corporate language they use to justify their bullshit. There’s no excuse, no bug too terrible, Google is just a lame company run by idiots.

Hired an overbalance of radical liberals…
Alienating everyone from developers to advertisers.

I think they’re just enormously scared of the EU fines for sloppiness in the privacy area. I think gdpr is the catalyst in the killing of G+. And why not? From their perspective then.

Pieter Lamers I think they simply fully realize how increasingly important privacy will become. It is already an area where consumers, the press and authorities are rigorously intolerant of mistakes and it will be much more challenging in the time to come. To the average consumer and the average journalist Google has a horrible track record in privacy – not least because of their history in social media. Obviously, Google can’t live with that – and the only way to turn the tables is to rebrand themselves as least as rigorously intolerant of their own mistakes as the public is.

To big to to fail.
Or to big for their own good?

Ken Webster Actually the evidence — if you’re at all interested in that and not just in scoring cheap shots — is that the overbalance is in radical libertarian brogrammer douchebags.
“Radical liberals” may have all the faults you imagine, but being unconcerned with equality of outcome is not one of them.

Also, I don’t think Google are run by idiots. They almost certainly have something up their sleeve. And they are clearly hard at work to kill Google, the spaghetti monster – the happy go lucky company launching experimental niche products left and right. To that end Allo, Inbox and Google+ had to go.
